All of these glass plate negatives were originally in one box labeled "Santa Paula." However, very few of them appear to be images of Santa Paula. They were organized into 6 packets: Packet 1 was primarily images of children, Packet 2 was primariy scenes of Ventura, Packet 3 was river scenes with children, Packet 4 is street scenes in Ventura and Wheeler Hot Springs, Packet 5 was not labeled but is images of Wheeler Hot Springs and locations around Ventura, and Packet 5 is portraits. There were a few loose glass plates. Those have been added to the end of the box. A few have been removed for preservation.
